Replacing the rear brake pads with Renault Logan
Content
If you notice that your Renault Logan has begun to brake poorly and in order to completely stop the car, you need to apply more effort on the brake pedal, then you need to check the brake system, in particular: the brake fluid level, the tightness of the brake hoses and of course the brake pads ...
Consider the step-by-step process of replacing brake pads with Renault Logan. By the way, the replacement process is almost the same as replacing the rear brake pads and drum on the Chevrolet Lanos, as well as on the VAZ 2114. Since the rear brake mechanism of these cars is practically the same.

Rear pad replacement algorithm
Let's analyze the step-by-step algorithm for replacing the rear brake pads with Renault Logan:
1 step: after loosening the parking brake cable, remove the brake drum. To do this, first knock out the protective hub cap. We rest with a flat screwdriver on the side of the cap and tapping with a hammer, we do it from different sides.
2 step: unscrew the hub nut, as a rule, it is 30 in size.
3 step: remove the brake drum. It is much more convenient to do this with a puller, but it is not always at hand and then you have to use other methods. For example, by tapping on the side of the drum from different sides, we gradually pull it out of place. This method is not an effective and correct method, since impacts can damage or disassemble the wheel bearing. If this happens, then you will have to replace it as well.
4 step: having removed the drum from both sides on the sides, we will see two springs that secure the pads. In order to remove them, it is necessary to turn the tip of the spring so that the end of the cotter pin passes through it. (usually rotated 90 degrees.
5 step: You can remove the pads, but before that you need to remove the parking brake cable at the bottom of the pads.
Note the location of the springs and other parts, then disassemble them.
Collecting new pads
1 step: First, put the upper spring.
2 step: Install the adjusting bolt so that the longer, straighter foot is on the back of the left shoe.
3 step: put on the bottom spring.
4 step: set the adjusting flag and the vertical spring.
5 step: put the assembled mechanism on the hub, put the springs, put on the parking brake cable. We try to put the drum on, if it sits down very easily, therefore, you need to tighten the adjusting bolt so that the pads spread as much as possible and the drum is put on with little effort.
6 step: then tighten the hub nut, there is no certain tightening torque, since the bearing is not tapered, it will not be possible to overtighten it.
The pads must be changed on all axles at once. That is, we either change all the rear ones at once, or all the front ones at once. Otherwise, when braking, the car will be led in the direction where the brake pads are newer, and on a slippery road, a skid or even a turn of the car is possible during emergency braking.
It is better to control the wear of the pads every 15 km!
